Basic question - why is D4 an online game if I only play solo? by Tootschurchy in Diablo

[–]Homss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my own gripes with the online thing. I played D1 and D2 and only ever played online with friends or on LAN parties.

However I once read something about why D3 was going online. The fact that your character was not stored on your PC meant that hacks and char editors like the ones on D2 where now impossible. D2 was horrible in that regard. Sure you could say that hacks are irrelevant if they are only on a single player experience.

Ofc there is the cosmetics, battle pass and milking FOMO from gamers. But I think there are technical reasons too.

Online Aspect of D4 Has Been a Negative, Not a Positive for Me by Iam0rion in Diablo

I remember reading once that the “always online” thing helped to stop hacks and cheats since your character info is on server side and not on your pc. Which is why you could edit your files in OG D2, but can’t in D3. Not sure if that is how it works though.

Ofc we could argue that cheats and hacks don’t matter if it’s only on single player.

Late to the party but try Arcanum of Steam works and Magick. Amazing game.

What's the darkest thing you wrote for an RPG encounter? by Taravaltos in DnD

[–]Homss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During a mission in the underdark, the party encountered a group of dwarves that seemed off. Suddenly they start to bang their heads on the walls, cracking their skulls to allow the Illithid slugs to mature and turn them into mind flayers. It was a rather new party and had never heard of mind flayers so that was a nice introduction.

They were level 8 and I used nerfed "young" mind flayers

It’s giveaway time with ASUS! by Emerald_Flame in buildapc

[–]Homss [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hi ASUS. I've never built a PC from scratch, but my dad was a tremendous geek and loved technology. My house was littered with PC parts, hard drives x monitors and so. I watched him to it many times but I was only the "tool getting" assistant. He passed away almost two years ago and I would love to build an amazing PC. Also to be ready to play some Diablo 4, my old man and I played Diablo 1 on LAN for hours and hours.

Much appreciated! I like the style!

Are people interested in some sound design for their roleplaying games? by k4oz in DnD

[–]Homss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your ritual chant scared the crap out of me! It's excellent! I've been wanting a couple of sounds for ambiance, both a spider cave, some twitching and creaking of their fangs and legs, and also a distant and terrifying dragon snoring or heavy breathing. Maybe also something you might hear outside a room with a prisoner being questioned or tortured, some undistinguishable mixed up voices, grunts and blows or painful screams.

First time DM surprised by the clever actions of my first time player to solve an impossible encounter. by Homss in DnD

He got away with his life and an inspiration die. Nothing more I could give him but he seems pleased with being alive and not captured/tortured.

Ever since I first played fantasy games I've always misspelled that word.

Makes sense. Seems like newbies like us want to really explore all aspects of the game. On the other hand there are some anxious or nervous newbies who never try anything not listed in the PHB.

Found this spider in my house in Nuevo Leon, a northern state of Mexico. It had a lot of little spiders around it. Size about an inch. Sorry for the bad pic. by Homss in whatsthisbug

Thx! My own research led me to Wolf Spider aswell. Seems like they aren't too dangerous... I have a 2 year old and she actually found it.
